Category: Freshwater Shrimp
The Yellow Rili Shrimp is like a stained-glass window with legs—its vibrant lemon-yellow head and tail frame a see-through midsection that gives it an otherworldly glow. This color morph of Neocaridina davidi is selectively bred to perfection, combining the cheer of solid Yellow Neocaridina with the quirky elegance of the Rili pattern.
Each shrimp boasts a bold golden hue in the front and back, often with varying translucency in the abdomen that may reveal their inner workings (yes, shrimp are kind of bio-mechanical marvels). These little dynamos are peaceful, hardy, and prolific, making them perfect for both beginners and seasoned shrimp keepers alike.

Yellow Rili Shrimp are a selectively bred morph; they’re not always 100% uniform! Expect some variance in pattern—some with wider or thinner clear bands, some with opaque spotting. This phenotypic variety adds visual texture to the colony and gives you a front-row seat to genetics in action.
Higher grade individuals will have clean, saturated yellow with crisp midsection clarity.
